Excited to be on the show!

"I'm really excited to be on the show," Edwina says, "as it's a favourite in my family.
And since I broke my ankle in January, I have an important reason for saying yes: for if I can get up and dance,
then maybe other people watching, who have also had accidents, will feel a bit more confident to get up and even
start dancing themselves. Wouldn’t that be marvellous? As for myself, I shall do my best, and will enjoy every spangly minute."

In July 2015 Edwina and husband John Jones were delighted to attend Vincent Simone's wedding to his long term partner Susan Duddy. As Hello magazine put it, "The 36-year-old Italian professional dancer tied the knot in Co Monaghan's Castle Leslie, with guests including former Strictly partners Louisa Lytton, Dani Harmer and Edwina Currie, and ex-I'm a Celebrity stars David Emanuel, Matthew Wright and Rebecca Adlington.
